Match preview: Watford v Cardiff City

Cardiff City can take another giant stride towards promotion to the Premier League when they go to Watford on Saturday evening. Victory would see City open up an eleven point gap on the Hornets, who occupy the final play-off place. And boss Malky Mackay has praised the character of his squad.

"You're debated, you're analysed, you're criticised. The torch is shone upon you, and in some cases you're ignored. So all these feelings can come out. And it's just about the players staying calm and making sure that they just do what we feel the correct process for being successful is."
